from film to fibre: A journey of love and craft

Hi I’m Victoria. My mother taught me to crochet when I was a little girl so I have been crocheting for more than thirty years. Now I’m on a mission to help you fall in love with crochet.

I’m a professional hair and makeup artist for film and TV and college lecturer and love working with colours and textures. I’ve also spent years teaching others practical skills they need to succeed.  I bring that same passion to teaching crochet, making it easy and fun for you to learn the craft that will bring you so much creative joy and comfort.

CROCHET FAMILY

MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER TAUGHT ME TO CROCHET 

Crochet can become a fabulous experience for you, your friends and your family. I come from a long heritage and family tradition of wonderful women who were outstanding knitters and crocheters.

My great grandmother, grandmother and my mother were all highly talented artists who between them knitted and crocheted for the soliders in both world wars and crafted for their home and loved ones, across three generations.

Some of my fondest memories are sitting beside my mother as she taught me to knit and crochet. Being so close to her and watching her make magic with her hands – those memories have stayed with me forever. Now I want to help you learn how to make handmade memories for your family.

CROCHET TREASURES

After my mother passed away suddenly, I held onto her wool and unfinished projects like treasures. Every time I picked up her needles and wool, it felt like a way to keep her close.

CROCHET LOVE

When my younger sister died as well,  crochet became more than just a craft for me—it became my sanctuary, my way of finding peace when nothing else could help. Every stitch helped me heal, and I found solace in the rhythm of the hook, the yarn, and the creations that came from it. Crochet brings you so much peace and creative comfort and I am passionate about sharing that creative joy with you, with easy to follow professional patterns and tutorials.
